The Multi-Tier JDBC driver for Ingres (Enterprise Edition) comprises three components: on the client, a generic set of
JDBC client classes that communicate over the network with a request broker, and a database-specific agent for MS SQL
Server. This empowers the network administrator to deploy the drivers on as many clients as they like, whilst permitting
security and performance configuration in the one central location (in the broker rulebook). The OpenLink Multi-Tier
Drivers for CA-Ingres are a Type-A class driver developed using the OpenAPI call level interface.
